North Carolina, North Carolina State, Virginia and Virginia Tech were fined and publicly reprimanded by the Atlantic Coast Conference on Monday following altercations at their respective rivalry games on Saturday.

The amounts of the institutional fines were not released, but the Raleigh News & Observer reported that the maximum penalty in the ACC bylaws is $25,000.

NC State defeated North Carolina 35-30 on Saturday, after which the Wolfpack were one of several teams around the country to plant a flag on the hosts’ field. North Carolina players got into a postgame fight with NC State players.

Players from Virginia and Virginia Tech got into a fight before their game, which Virginia Tech won 37-17.

“In both cases, the actions violated the ACC Sportsmanship Policy,” the league said in a statement. “The unsportsmanlike behavior that was displayed is unacceptable and tarnishes the passionate on-field play between these institutions.

“The funds from the imposed institutional fines — which are the maximum allowed by the league’s bylaws — will be placed into the Weaver-James-Corrigan-Swofford Postgraduate Scholarship account.”

Michigan and Ohio State each were levied $100,000 fines by the Big Ten Conference for a postgame fight between their teams after the Wolverines upset the Buckeyes in Columbus.
